I'm never bored in this business. Selling houses, income property, lots and land for a living is full of fun, challenges and sometimes ever a little scary. Situations worthy of sitcoms and and award winning dramas occur like clockwork in the emotionally charged world of real estate. Let's face it, we deal with a person's habitat, finances and personal life during a time of mass upheaval. These stories cannot be written, they must unfold.
Last week fleas flocked to my feet upon entering a new bank-owned listing; sometimes it's not a good idea to be the first agent to preview a property--you never know what will be waiting to bite you.
A recent listing appointment brought me face to face with a Pitbull. The dog was chained in anticipation of my arrival but the owner did not realize the length of the chain allowed the dog to jump up and greet me with dog to agent contact as I walked into the courtyard. The slobbers were the least of my concerns; I was calculating how much the plastic surgery would cost to repair the damage his pearly whites seemed set to inflict on my face. Ahh, but on with the listing appointment. A dedicated agent marches onward.
The stories soon become history. Simply part of the story a particular transaction tells. New adventures are always just around the corner. There are different players, different homes, new situations and untold obstacles ahead, and that's what keeps real estate interesting, unrepeatable and a fresh experience each day.
